1) Live video footage of organisms. Video footage was taken of some organisms freshly collected in the field.  The links on this page open videos in a new page.   Links to these videos are also found near the bottom of the species page for that organism.   These clips were created by the members of the Haney laboratory.

2) Dissection assistance. To assist with dissection of calanoid and cyclopoid copepods, we have included video clips of procedures as seen through a dissecting microscope.
